The series, organised for the first time in the 1999-2000 season, was formed to develop an elite-level competition series between rugby nations and develop the sevens game into a viable commercial product for the IRB. Teams compete for the Sevens World Series title by accumulating points based on their finishing position in each tournament. New Zealand had originally dominated the Series, winning each of the first six titles from 1999-2000 to 2004-05, but since then, Fiji, South Africa and Samoa have each won titles. As of the current 2012–13 season, the season's circuit consists of nine tournaments in eight countries, and visits five of the six populated continents. [[Australia]], the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[South Africa]], [[New Zealand]], the [[United States]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Japan]], [[Scotland]] and [[England]] each host one event. [[Argentina]] was originally planned to begin hosting a tenth event in the 2012–13 season, but that tournament's launch will now be delayed until 2013–14. One of the World Series tournaments may be folded into the quadrennial [[Rugby World Cup Sevens]], depending on the venue and scheduling of the tournaments. For example, the 2005 Hong Kong Sevens was folded into the 2005 Rugby World Cup Sevens because the two tournaments were scheduled to be held in the same place at the same time. However, no IRB Sevens World Series events have been folded into the Rugby World Cup Sevens since 2005. The [[2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens|2013 Sevens World Cup]], which was originally intended to be event's final edition before the IRB reconsidered its position on that tournament,<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.rwcsevens.com/home/news/newsid=2067449.html#future+rugby+world+cup+sevens+confirmed |title=Future of Rugby World Cup Sevens confirmed |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=12 June 2013 |accessdate=13 June 2013}}</ref> will be held more than a month after the end of the 2012–13 World Series. ==History== [[New Zealand national rugby union team (sevens)|New Zealand]] has been by far the dominant force in the IRB World Sevens Series, winning eleven out of the 14 seasons, and winning the first six seasons. However,since 2005, several other teams have successfully challenged New Zealand's dominance. [[Fiji national rugby union team (sevens)|Fiji]], long a power in sevens, were winners in 2005-06; [[South Africa national rugby union team (sevens)|South Africa]] won in 2008–09; and [[Samoa national rugby union team (sevens)|Samoa]] claimed the 2009–10 crown. Other strong contenders in recent years have included [[England national rugby union team (sevens)|England]], [[Australia national rugby union team (sevens)|Australia]], and [[Argentina national rugby union team (sevens)|Argentina]], all of whom have won an event within the last two seasons.<ref name="2010-11 schedule">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irb.com/irbsevens/news/newsid=2037992.html#dates+201011+irb+sevens+world+series |title=Dates set for 2010/11 IRB Sevens World Series |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=1 June 2010 |accessdate=2 June 2010}}</ref> Many minor rugby nations have become competitive as well. Seven of the current 15 "core teams" that participate in all series events represent nations that are not within the traditional top tier of the 15-man game—Samoa, Fiji, [[Canada national rugby union team (sevens)|Canada]], [[Kenya national rugby union team (sevens)|Kenya]], [[Portugal national rugby union team (sevens)|Portugal]], [[Spain national rugby union team (sevens)|Spain]], and the [[United States national rugby union team (sevens)|USA]].

Two qualifiers from each of the IRB's six regions compete. The 12 teams are drawn into pools, with the top eight teams advancing to a quarterfinal round. The winners of the four quarterfinal matches advance to the final qualifying stage. * The final qualifying stage, the World Series Core Team Qualifier, is held as part of the London Sevens. The qualifying teams are joined by the winner of the HSBC Asian Sevens Series, plus the bottom three core teams following the Scotland Sevens. The qualifying tournament is conducted with a pool stage followed by knockout play, with the two finalists and the winner of the third-place match becoming core teams for the following season. == Format == [[rugby sevens|Sevens]] is a stripped-down version of [[rugby union]] from [[Scotland]] with seven players each side on a normal-sized field. Games are much shorter, lasting only seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced, open, affairs. The game is quicker and higher-scoring than 15-a-side rugby and the rules are far simpler, which explains part of its appeal. It also gives players the space for superb feats of individual skill. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format, with the Hong Kong Sevens (an anomaly as a three-day event) being the most famous. Currently, in a normal event, 16 teams are entered. The Hong Kong Sevens had 24 teams through the 2011–12 series, but will expand to 28 teams in 2012–13; the 15 core teams and the winner of the HSBC Asian Sevens Series will compete for series points, while the remaining 12 teams will be those in the World Series Pre-Qualifier.<ref name="2012–13 qualifying"/> Starting in 2012–13, the season-ending London Sevens will expand to 20 teams, with 12 competing for series points and eight involved in the Core Team Qualifier.<ref name="2012–13 qualifying"/> The IRB operates satellite tournaments in each continent alongside the Sevens World Series which serve as qualifiers for Series events,<ref name="2008-09 core"/> and from 2012–13 also determine the entrants in the World Series Pre-Qualifier.<ref name="2012–13 qualifying"/> In each tournament, the teams are divided into pools of four teams, who play a round-robin within the pool. Points are awarded in each pool on a different schedule from most rugby tournaments—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss, 0 for a no-show. In case teams are tied after pool play, the tiebreakers are:<ref name="IRB Sevens 2006-07">{{cite web|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/NR/rdonlyres/7A7C20FC-056B-4CE6-B5A5-D4F6ECBF40F7/0/061026SL7sguidegeneric.pdf |title=2006-07 IRB Sevens World Series Media Guide |format=PDF |publisher=[[International Rugby Board]] |accessdate=10 February 2007 }}</ref> #Head-to-head result between the tied teams. #Difference in points scored and allowed during pool play. #Difference in tries scored and allowed during pool play. #Points scored during pool play. #Coin toss.

In the transitional year of 2012, the Hong Kong Sevens was split into two separate competitions. The 12 core teams competed for the Cup, Plate and Bowl under a format similar to that of a regular event. The 12 invited teams all competed for the Shield, with the top three sides in that competition also earning core status for 2012–13. From 2013 on, the four trophies in Hong Kong will be contested under the same format used in regular 16-team tournaments.

The IRB introduced a new scoring system for the 2011–12 series, in which all teams participating in a tournament are guaranteed points. Initially, the IRB announced the new points schedule only for the standard 16-team events; the allocations for the Hong Kong Sevens were announced later.<ref name="2011-12 points"/> Starting with the 2012–13 series, all events except the London Sevens will have 16 teams competing for series points. In London, only 12 teams will compete for series points. *Cup winner (1st place): 22 points *Cup runner-up (2nd place): 19 points *Cup third-place play-off winner (3rd place): 17 points *Cup third-place play-off loser (4th place): 15 points *Plate winner (5th place): 13 points *Plate runner-up (6th place): 12 points *Losing Plate semi-finalists (joint 7th place): 10 points *Bowl winner (9th place): 8 points *Bowl runner-up (10th place): 7 points *Losing Bowl semi-finalists (joint 11th place): 5 points *Shield winner (13th place): 3 points *Shield runner-up (14th place): 2 points *Losing Shield semi-finalists (joint 15th place): 1 point If two or more teams are level on series points at the end of the season, the following tiebreakers are used to determine placement:<ref name="IRB Sevens 2006-07" /> #Overall difference in points scored and allowed during the season. #Total try count during the season. #If neither of the above produces a winner, the teams are considered tied. == See also == * [[Rugby sevens]] * [[Hong Kong Sevens]] * [[Rugby World Cup Sevens]] * [[IRB Women's Sevens World Series]], launched in 2012–13 == Notes and references == {{Reflist}} ==External links== * [http://www.irbsevens.com The official tournament homepage] {{World sevens series}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Irb Sevens World Series}} [[Category:IRB Sevens World Series| ]] fa7fba935cc733c30e78d028903d76184bf873b1 0 46 61 60 2014-01-29T23:15:50Z Matt121 3353792 1 revision wikitext text/x-wiki The '''1999–2000 IRB Sevens World Series''' was the first ever series played of which the [[IRB Sevens World Series]] was born. ==Itinerary== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=4 style="border-right:0px;"; | 1999-00 Itinerary |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=8%|Leg ! width=10%|Venue ! width=8%|Date ! width=5%|Winner |- |[[1999 Dubai Sevens|Dubai]] |[[Dubai Exiles Rugby Ground]] |2-3 December 1999 |{{ru7|NZL}} |- |[[1999 South Africa Sevens|South Africa]] |[[Danie Craven Stadium]], [[Stellenbosch]] |10-11 December 1999 |{{ru7|FIJ}} |- |[[2000 Punta Del Este Sevens|Punta Del Este]] |[[Campus de Maldonado]], [[Punta Del Este]] |7–8 January 2000 |{{ru7|NZL}} |- |[[2000 Mar del Plata Sevens|Mar del Plata]] |[[Estadio José María Minella]], [[Mar del Plata]] |12–13 January 2000 |{{ru7|FIJ}} |- |[[2000 Wellington Sevens|Wellington]] |[[Westpac Stadium]], [[Wellington]] |5–6 February 2000 |{{ru7|FIJ}} |- |[[2000 Fiji Sevens|Fiji]] |[[Suva]] |11-12 February 2000 |{{ru7|NZL}} |- |[[2000 Australian Sevens|Brisbane]] |[[Suncorp Stadium]], [[Brisbane]] |18-19 February 2000 |{{ru7|FIJ}} |- |[[2000 Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]] |[[Hong Kong Stadium]], [[Hong Kong]] |24-26 March 2000 |{{ru7|NZL}} |- |[[2000 Japan Sevens|Japan]] |[[Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium]], [[Tokyo]] |1-2 April 2000 |{{ru7|FIJ}} |- |[[2000 France Sevens|Paris]] |[[Stade Sébastien Charléty]], [[Paris]] |24-26 March 2000 |{{ru7|NZL}} |} ==Final standings== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |- ! width=5%|Pos. !

wikitext text/x-wiki The '''2004–05 [[IRB Sevens World Series]]''', was the sixth of an annual series of [[Rugby sevens#Rugby Union Sevens|rugby union sevens]] tournaments for full national sides run by the [[International Rugby Board]] since 1999–2000. The defending series champions were [[New Zealand national rugby union team (sevens)|New Zealand]], who won the 2003–04 series. Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced, open affairs. Sevens is traditionally played in a two–day tournament format.

In each tournament, the teams are divided into pools of four teams, who play a round-robin within the pool. Points are awarded in each pool on a different schedule from most rugby tournaments—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss. The first tiebreaker is the head-to-head result between the tied teams, followed by difference in points scored during the tournament. Four trophies are awarded in each tournament. In descending order of prestige, they are the Cup, whose winner is the overall tournament champion, Plate, Bowl and Shield. Each trophy is awarded at the end of a knockout tournament. In an event, the top two teams in each pool advance to the Cup competition. The four quarterfinal losers drop into the bracket for the Plate. The Bowl is contested by the third-place finishers in each pool, while the Shield is contested by the last-place teams from each pool. ==Points schedule== The season championship is determined by points earned in each tournament. For most events, points are awarded on the following schedule: *Cup winner (1st place): 20 points *Cup runner-up (2nd place): 16 points *Losing Cup semifinalists (3rd & 4th place): 12 points *Plate winner (5th place): 8 points *Plate runner-up (6th place): 6 points *Losing Plate semifinalists (7th & 8th place): 4 points *Bowl winner (9th place): 2 points ==Final table== {|class = "wikitable" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=12 style="border-right:0px;"; | Final Standings |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=5%|Pos. ! width=16%|Country ! width=10%|Dubai ! width=10%|South Africa<br/>(George) ! width=10%|New Zealand<br/>(Wellington) ! width=10%|USA<br/>(San Diego) ! width=10%|Singapore ! width=10%|England<br/>(London) ! width=10%|France<br/>(Paris) ! width=10%|Overall |- || 1 || {{Ru7|NZL}} ||12 || '''20''' || '''20''' || '''20''' || '''20''' || 12 || 12 || '''116''' |- || 2 || {{Ru7|FIJ}} || 16 || 16 || 12 || 8 || 12 || 8 || 16 || '''88''' |- || 3 || {{Ru7|ENG}} || '''20''' || 12 || 4 || 12 || 16 || 16 || 6 || '''86''' |- || 4 || {{Ru7|RSA}} || 12 || 8 || 12 || 4 || 12 || '''20''' || 8 || '''76''' |- || 5 || {{Ru7|ARG}} || 6 || 12 || 16 || 16 || 4 || 12 || 4 || '''70''' |- || 6 || {{Ru7|SAM}} || 8 || 6 || 4 || 6 || 8 || 2 || 12 || '''46''' |- || 7 || {{Ru7|AUS}} || 4 || 2 || 8 || 12 || 6 || 6 || 4 || '''42''' |- || 8 || {{Ru7|FRA}} || 0 || 0 || 0 || 4 || 2 || 4 || '''20''' || '''30''' |- || 9 || {{Ru7|SCO}} || 4 || 0 || 6 || 0 || 4 || 4 || 2 || '''20''' |- || 10 || {{Ru7|KEN}} || 0 || 4 || 2 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''6''' |- || 11 || {{Ru7|TUN}} || 0 || 4 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''4''' |- || 12 || {{Ru7|CAN}} || 0 || 0 || 0 || 2 || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''2''' |- || 13 || {{Ru7|POR}} || 2 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''2''' |- |} ==The events== ===Dubai=== {{main|2004 Dubai Sevens}} ====Results==== *Cup: {{Ru7|FIJ}} '''21-26''' {{Ru7|ENG}} *Losing Cup semifinalists: {{Ru7|RSA}}, {{Ru7|NZL}} *Plate: {{Ru7|SAM}} '''21-19''' {{Ru7|ARG}} *Losing Plate semifinalists: {{Ru7|AUS}}, {{Ru7|SCO}} *Bowl: {{Ru7|FRA}} '''5-10''' {{Ru7|POR}} *Shield: {{Ru7|IRE}} '''5-17''' {{Ru7|TUN}} ===South Africa=== {{main|2004 South Africa Sevens}} ====Results==== *Cup: {{Ru7|NZL}} '''33-19''' {{Ru7|FIJ}} *Losing Cup semifinalists: {{Ru7|ENG}}, {{Ru7|ARG}} *Plate: {{Ru7|RSA}} '''12-7''' {{Ru7|SAM}} *Losing Plate semifinalists: {{Ru7|TUN}}, {{Ru7|KEN}} *Bowl: {{Ru7|CAN}} '''12-38''' {{Ru7|AUS}} *Shield: {{Ru7|POR}} '''17-12''' {{Ru7|FRA}} ===New Zealand=== {{main|2005 Wellington Sevens}} ====Results==== *Cup: {{Ru7|ARG}} '''7-31''' {{Ru7|NZL}} *Losing Cup semifinalists: {{Ru7|RSA}}, {{Ru7|FIJ}} *Plate: {{Ru7|SCO}} '''0-32''' {{Ru7|AUS}} *Losing Plate semifinalists: {{Ru7|SAM}}, {{Ru7|ENG}} *Bowl: {{Ru7|TON}} '''12-17''' {{Ru7|KEN}} *Shield: {{Ru7|JPN}} '''19-29''' {{Ru7|NIU}} ===USA=== {{main|2005 USA Sevens}} ====Results==== *Cup: {{Ru7|ARG}} '''5-34''' {{Ru7|NZL}} *Losing Cup semifinalists: {{Ru7|AUS}}, {{Ru7|ENG}} *Plate: {{Ru7|SAM}} '''21-24''' {{Ru7|FIJ}} *Losing Plate semifinalists: {{Ru7|FRA}}, {{Ru7|RSA}} *Bowl: {{Ru7|KEN}} '''0-15''' {{Ru7|CAN}} *Shield: {{Ru7|TON}} '''40-0''' {{Ru7|MEX}} ===Singapore=== {{main|2005 Singapore Sevens}} ====Results==== *Cup: {{Ru7|NZL}} '''26-5''' {{Ru7|ENG}} *Losing Cup semifinalists: {{Ru7|FIJ}}, {{Ru7|RSA}} *Plate: {{Ru7|SAM}} '''14-15''' {{Ru7|AUS}} *Losing Plate semifinalists: {{Ru7|SCO}}, {{Ru7|ARG}} *Bowl: {{Ru7|CAN}} '''12-19''' {{Ru7|FRA}} *Shield: {{Ru7|TPE}} '''17-10''' {{Ru7|CHN}} ===France=== {{main|2005 Paris Sevens}} ====Results==== *Cup: {{Ru7|FRA}} '''28-19''' {{Ru7|FIJ}} *Losing Cup semifinalists: {{Ru7|SAM}}, {{Ru7|NZL}} *Plate: {{Ru7|RSA}} '''26-19''' {{Ru7|ENG}} *Losing Plate semifinalists: {{Ru7|AUS}}, {{Ru7|SCO}} *Bowl: {{Ru7|ARG}} '''26-10''' {{Ru7|GEO}} *Shield: {{Ru7|CAN}} '''33-21''' {{Ru7|RUS}} ===London=== {{main|2005 London Sevens}} ====Results==== *Cup: {{Ru7|RSA}} '''21-12''' {{Ru7|ENG}} *Losing Cup semifinalists: {{Ru7|ARG}}, {{Ru7|NZL}} *Plate: {{Ru7|AUS}} '''12-29''' {{Ru7|FIJ}} *Losing Plate semifinalists: {{Ru7|SCO}}, {{Ru7|FRA}} *Bowl: {{Ru7|TUN}} '''0-27''' {{Ru7|SAM}} *Shield: {{Ru7|KEN}} '''12-18''' {{Ru7|CAN}} ==References== <references /> ==External links== *[http://www.irbsevens.com Official tournament site] {{World sevens series}} {{DEFAULTSORT:2004-05 World Sevens Series}} [[Category:2004-05 IRB Sevens World Series]] [[Category:IRB Sevens World Series]] cbc3fdab8fd43dcccaaedb8403b894400822374c 0 52 73 72 2014-01-29T23:15:53Z Matt121 3353792 1 revision wikitext text/x-wiki The '''2005-06 [[IRB Sevens World Series|World Sevens Series]]''' was the seventh in an annual series of [[Rugby sevens#Rugby union sevens|rugby union sevens]] tournaments run by the [[International Rugby Board]] since 1999-2000. The participating teams in each World Sevens Series are full national sides. The series was won by [[Fiji national rugby union team (sevens)|Fiji]] in the last event of the competition. In the final event Fiji needed to finish as Plate winners or higher to ensure that they would win the series. In the final event Fiji won the Cup competition making them the 2005-06 Series Champions. Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced, open affairs. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format; however, the most famous event, the [[Hong Kong Sevens]], is played over three days. The most famous Sevens event, the [[Hong Kong Sevens]], returned to the series after a one-year hiatus in 2004-05 for the IRB [[Rugby World Cup Sevens]], which was held in Hong Kong in March 2005 and won by [[Fiji national rugby union team (sevens)|Fiji]]. The tournaments spanned the globe, with the following events included in the 2005-06 tour: {| class="wikitable" |- ! colspan=4 | 2005-06 Itinerary |- ! width=8%|Leg ! width=10%|Venue ! width=8%|Date ! width=5%|Winner |- || '''[[2005 Dubai Sevens|Dubai]]''' || [[Dubai Exiles Rugby Ground]] || December 1–2, 2005 || {{Ru7|ENG}} |- || '''[[2005 South Africa Sevens|South Africa]]''' || [[Outeniqua Park]], [[George, Western Cape|George]] || December 9–10, 2005 || {{Ru7|FIJ}} |- || '''[[2006 Wellington Sevens|New Zealand]]''' || [[Westpac Stadium]], [[Wellington]] || February 3–4, 2006 || {{Ru7|FIJ}} |- || '''[[2006 USA Sevens|United States]]''' || [[The Home Depot Center]], [[Los Angeles, California]] || February 11–12, 2006 || {{Ru7|ENG}} |- || '''[[2006 Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]]''' || [[Hong Kong Stadium]] || March 31-April 2, 2006 || {{Ru7|ENG}} |- || '''[[2006 Singapore Sevens|Singapore]]''' || [[National Stadium, Singapore]] || April 8–9, 2006|| {{Ru7|FIJ}} |- || '''[[2006 Paris Sevens|Paris]]''' || [[Stade Jean-Bouin]] || May 27–28, 2007 || {{Ru7|RSA}} |- || '''[[2006 London Sevens|London]]''' || [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]] || June 3–4, 2006 || {{Ru7|FIJ}} |} ==The season== In a normal event, 16 teams are entered; in Hong Kong, 24 teams enter. In each tournament, the teams are divided into pools of four teams, who play a round-robin within the pool. Points are awarded in each pool on a different schedule from most rugby tournaments—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss. The first tiebreaker is difference in points scored during the tournament. Four trophies are awarded in each tournament, except for Hong Kong. In descending order of prestige, they are the Cup, whose winner is the overall tournament champion, Plate, Bowl and Shield. In Hong Kong, the Shield is not awarded. Each trophy is awarded at the end of a knockout tournament. In a normal event, the top two teams in each pool advance to the Cup competition. The four quarterfinal losers drop into the bracket for the Plate. The Bowl is contested by the third-place finishers in each pool, while the Shield is contested by the last-place teams from each pool. In Hong Kong, the six pool winners, plus the two highest-finishing second-place teams, advance to the Cup. The Plate participants are the eight highest-ranked teams remaining, while the lowest eight drop to the Bowl. ==Points schedule== The season championship is determined by points earned in each tournament. For most events, points are awarded on the following schedule: *Cup winner (1st place): 20 points *Cup runner-up: 16 points *Losing Cup semifinalists: 12 points *Plate winner (5th place): 8 points *Plate runner-up: 6 points *Losing Plate semifinalists: 4 points *Bowl winner (9th place): 2 points Points are awarded on a different schedule for the Hong Kong Sevens: *Cup winner: 30 points *Cup runner-up: 24 points *Losing Cup semifinalists: 18 points *Losing Cup quarterfinalists: 8 points *Plate winner (9th place): 4 points *Plate runner-up: 3 points *Bowl winner (17th place): 1 point ==The events== ===Dubai=== The opening event of the season saw [[England national rugby union team (sevens)|England]] defend their title, but not without a major fight. They had a very tough semifinal against [[Samoa national rugby union team (sevens)|Samoa]], surviving only via an injury-time try by Sevens newcomer [[Tom Varndell]] and conversion by [[Simon Amor]] after Samoa had been controversially reduced to six men in the final seconds. Facing England in the final was [[Fiji national rugby union team (sevens)|Fiji]], which had a much tougher road to the final. In what would prove to be a harbinger of the season to come, they upset six-time defending series champion [[New Zealand national rugby union team (sevens)|New Zealand]] in the quarterfinals. Fiji then defeated [[South Africa national rugby union team (sevens)|South Africa]] in the semifinals. The final proved to be a back-and-forth game, with each team seemingly having an answer for the other's scores. However, Varndell, who was named player of the tournament, scored his third try of the final and 10th of the tournament with little more than a minute to go, giving England a lead Fiji could only reduce.

They defeated both New Zealand and England in the knockout phase to advance to the final. Their opponents were Argentina, who were upset by Wales in pool play, but went on to defeat New Zealand later in pool play. Fiji took a 14&ndash;0 lead after five minutes of the final, but Argentina stormed back to take a 19&ndash;14 lead. [[William Ryder (rugby union player)|William Ryder]] scored a try near the end to draw Fiji level, with the winning points provided by a conversion from Sevens legend and player-coach [[Waisale Serevi]]. The man-of-the-tournament award went to Serevi's successor as Fiji Sevens captain, [[Jone Daunivucu]].

The first half belonged to England, who took advantage of a Fiji sin-binning to break open a tight game to take a 19&ndash;7 lead at the break. Serevi's men stormed back in the second half to level the score, and eventually took the lead on a Ryder try. However, they turned the ball over as the full-time siren sounded. England took advantage, with [[Ben Gollings]] scoring a try to tie the match and converting to win.

New Zealand were officially eliminated from contention for the series crown, crashing out in the Cup quarterfinals to Argentina and losing in the Plate semifinals to Samoa. Fiji placed themselves in pole position to claim the series crown; if they made the finals in Paris and England, they would win the series title no matter what England did.

England caught a major break when the hosts, France, stunned Fiji 22&ndash;21 in the Cup quarterfinals, knocking them into the Plate competition. However, England could not take advantage of the upset, crashing out of the Cup at the same stage to Australia, 29&ndash;17. Fiji went on to win the Plate and extend their lead over England for the overall crown. In the meantime, South Africa went on to win the Paris crown. In the final, they avenged a loss to Samoa in pool play, with Rayno Benjamin and Danwell Dimas scoring two tries apiece. The results here all but assured Fiji the overall crown. England could only win the 2005-06 series if they won the final event at Twickenham '''''and''''' Fiji lost in or before the Plate semifinals.

The most competitive pool was Pool B, featuring the hosts England. The pool was tightly contested, with England neck-and-neck with Australia and surprise package Kenya. In a major shocker, Kenya easily defeated Australia 26&ndash;7. Although England would lose the day's final match 24&ndash;19 to Australia, they topped the pool on points difference, with Kenya finishing second. [http://www.rugbyrugby.com/news/story_51586.shtml] On Day 2, Fiji clinched the overall series crown by defeating Kenya 33&ndash;14 in the Cup quarterfinals. They went on to crush South Pacific rivals Samoa 54&ndash;14 for the London crown. England held off South Africa for second place, advancing to the Cup semifinals while South Africa could only advance to the Plate final, which they lost to Kenya. The Bowl competition went especially against form. In the first semifinal, [[Portugal national rugby union team (sevens)|Portugal]] surprised Scotland 24&ndash;12. The second saw an even more shocking result, as [[Russia national rugby union team (sevens)|Russia]] used a hat trick from [[Igor Galinovskiy]] to stun Australia 21&ndash;5. Portugal won the final 45&ndash;0.

However, a Wales upset win opened the door for New Zealand to take the season crown by winning the Cup in Edinburgh, which they proceeded to do. Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced, open affairs. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format; however, the most famous event, the [[Hong Kong Sevens]], is played over three days. The tournaments span the globe: {| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=4 style="border-right:0px;"; | 2006–07 Itinerary |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=8%|Leg ! width=10%|Venue ! width=8%|Date ! width=5%|Winner |- ||'''[[2006 Dubai Sevens|Dubai]]''' || [[Dubai Exiles Rugby Ground]] || December 1–2, 2006 || {{Ru7|RSA}} |- ||'''[[2006 South Africa Sevens|South Africa]]''' || [[Outeniqua Park]], [[George, Western Cape|George]] || December 8–9, 2006 || {{Ru7|NZL}} |- ||'''[[2007 Wellington Sevens|New Zealand]]''' || [[Westpac Stadium]], [[Wellington]] || February 2–3, 2007 || {{Ru7|SAM}} |- ||'''[[2007 USA Sevens|United States]]''' || [[PETCO Park]], [[San Diego, California]] || February 10–11, 2007 || {{Ru7|FIJ}} |- ||'''[[2007 Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]]''' || [[Hong Kong Stadium]] || March 30-April 1, 2007 || {{Ru7|SAM}} |- ||'''[[2007 Adelaide Sevens|Australia]]''' || [[Adelaide Oval]], [[Adelaide]] || April 7–8, 2007|| {{Ru7|FIJ}} |- ||'''[[2007 London Sevens|London]]''' || [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]] || May 26–27, 2007 || {{Ru7|NZL}} |- ||'''[[2007 Edinburgh Sevens|Scotland]]''' || [[Murrayfield Stadium|Murrayfield]], [[Edinburgh]] || June 2–3, 2007 || {{Ru7|NZL}} |} The Australia and Scotland events are new for 2006-07. The Australia event effectively replaces [[Standard Chartered Sevens Singapore|Singapore]], and the Scotland event effectively replaces the [[Paris Sevens]]. ==The season== In a normal event, 16 teams are entered; in Hong Kong, 24 teams enter. In each tournament, the teams are divided into pools of four teams, who play a round-robin within the pool. Points are awarded in each pool on a different schedule from most rugby tournaments—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss. The first tiebreaker is the head-to-head result between the tied teams, followed by difference in points scored during the tournament. Four trophies are awarded in each tournament, except for Hong Kong. In descending order of prestige, they are the Cup, whose winner is the overall tournament champion, Plate, Bowl and Shield. In Hong Kong, the Shield is not awarded. Each trophy is awarded at the end of a knockout tournament. In a normal event, the top two teams in each pool advance to the Cup competition. The four quarterfinal losers drop into the bracket for the Plate. The Bowl is contested by the third-place finishers in each pool, while the Shield is contested by the last-place teams from each pool. In Hong Kong, the six pool winners, plus the two highest-finishing second-place teams, advance to the Cup. The Plate participants are the eight highest-ranked teams remaining, while the lowest eight drop to the Bowl. ==Points schedule== The season championship is determined by points earned in each tournament. For most events, points are awarded on the following schedule: *Cup winner (1st place): 20 points *Cup runner-up: 16 points *Losing Cup semifinalists: 12 points *Plate winner (5th place): 8 points *Plate runner-up: 6 points *Losing Plate semifinalists: 4 points *Bowl winner (9th place): 2 points Points are awarded on a different schedule for the Hong Kong Sevens: *Cup winner: 30 points *Cup runner-up: 24 points *Losing Cup semifinalists: 18 points *Losing Cup quarterfinalists: 8 points *Plate winner (9th place): 4 points *Plate runner-up: 3 points *Losing Plate semifinalists: 2 points *Bowl winner (17th place): 1 point ==Final table== {| class="wikitable" ! width=5%|Pos. !

[[South Africa national rugby union team (sevens)|South Africa]] clinched the 2008-09 World Series on Day 1 of the Edinburgh Sevens, its first Series title. The defending series champions were [[New Zealand national rugby union team (sevens)|New Zealand]], who won the 2007–08 series by winning the season's first 5 tournaments. New Zealand won the 2007–08 series with one tournament remaining after winning the Plate Final of the London leg.[1] Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format. However, the most famous event, the Hong Kong Sevens, is played over three days, largely because it involves 24 teams instead of the normal 16. Starting in 2008–09, the Australia leg (which involves the normal 16 teams) was spread out over a three-day period. The series' tournaments are identical to 2007–2008 and span the globe: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=4 style="border-right:0px;"; | 2008-09 Itinerary<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irb.com/mm/document/newsmedia/0/080901ccirbsevensworldseries2008-2009selections_6135.pdf |format=PDF |title=IRB Sevens World Series 2008-09 (Referee) Selections |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=2008-09-01 |accessdate=2008-09-17}}</ref> |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=8%|Leg ! width=10%|Venue ! width=8%|Date ! width=5%|Winner |- || '''[[2008 Dubai Sevens|Dubai]]''' || [[The Sevens (stadium)|The Sevens]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irb.com/rwcsevens/news/newsid=2025888.html#emirates+unveils+dubai+venue+the+sevens |title=Emirates unveils Dubai venue 'The Sevens' |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=2008-07-02 |accessdate=2008-09-17}}</ref> || November 28&ndash;29, 2008 ||align=left| {{ru7|RSA}} |- || '''[[2008 South Africa Sevens|South Africa]]''' || [[Outeniqua Park]], [[George, Western Cape|George]] || December 5&ndash;6, 2008 ||align=left| {{ru7|RSA}} |- || '''[[2009 Wellington Sevens|New Zealand]]''' || [[Westpac Stadium]], [[Wellington]] || February 6&ndash;7, 2009 ||align=left| {{ru7|ENG}} |- || '''[[2009 USA Sevens|United States]]''' || [[PETCO Park]], [[San Diego|San Diego, California]] || February 14&ndash;15, 2009 ||align=left| {{ru7|ARG}} |- || '''[[2009 Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]]''' || [[Hong Kong Stadium]] || March 27&ndash;29, 2009 ||align=left| {{ru7|FIJ}} |- || '''[[2009 Adelaide Sevens|Australia]]''' || [[Adelaide Oval]], [[Adelaide]] || April 3&ndash;5, 2009|| {{ru7|RSA}} |- || '''[[2009 London Sevens|London]]''' || [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]] || May 23&ndash;24, 2009 || {{ru7|ENG}} |- || '''[[2009 Edinburgh Sevens|Scotland]]''' || [[Murrayfield Stadium|Murrayfield]], [[Edinburgh]] || May 30&ndash;31, 2009 || {{ru7|FIJ}} |} The [[2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens]] is not a part of the 2008-09 series.

[[Samoa national rugby union team (sevens)|Samoa]] won the series crown for their first time. Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format. However, the most famous event, the Hong Kong Sevens, is played over three days, largely because it involves 24 teams instead of the normal 16. ==Itinerary== The series' tournaments were identical to those in 2008–09 and spanned the globe, visiting five of the six populated continents. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=4 style="border-right:0px;"; | 2009–10 Itinerary<ref name="2009-10 schedule">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irb.com/irbsevens/news/newsid=2032654.html#200910+irb+sevens+world+series+schedule |title=2009/10 IRB Sevens World Series schedule set |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=2009-07-08 |accessdate=2009-07-14}}</ref> |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=8%|Leg ! width=10%|Venue ! width=8%|Date ! width=5%|Winner |- || '''[[2009 Dubai Sevens|Dubai]]''' || [[The Sevens (stadium)|The Sevens]] || December 4–5, 2009 ||align=left|{{ru7|NZL}} |- || '''[[2009 South Africa Sevens|South Africa]]''' || [[Outeniqua Park]], [[George, Western Cape|George]] || December 11–12, 2009 ||align=left| {{ru7|NZL}} |- || '''[[2010 Wellington Sevens|New Zealand]]''' || [[Westpac Stadium]], [[Wellington]] || February 5–6, 2010 ||align=left| {{ru7|FIJ}} |- || '''[[2010 USA Sevens|United States]]''' || [[Sam Boyd Stadium]], [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]] || February 13–14, 2010 ||align=left| {{ru7|SAM}} |- || '''[[2010 Adelaide Sevens|Australia]]''' || [[Adelaide Oval]], [[Adelaide]] || March 19–21, 2010 || align=left| {{ru7|SAM}} |- || '''[[2010 Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]]''' || [[Hong Kong Stadium]] || March 26–28, 2010 ||align=left| {{ru7|SAM}} |- || '''[[2010 London Sevens|London]]''' || [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]] || May 22–23, 2010 || {{ru7|AUS}} |- || '''[[2010 Edinburgh Sevens|Edinburgh]]''' || [[Murrayfield Stadium|Murrayfield]], [[Edinburgh]] || May 29–30, 2010 || {{ru7|SAM}} |} Two minor changes were made to the schedule: * The USA event moved from [[San Diego]], its home from [[2006-07 IRB Sevens World Series|2007]] to [[2008-09 IRB Sevens World Series|2009]], to [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]].<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.usasevens.com/event/las-vegas.aspx |title=USA Sevens Signs Letter Of Intent to Bring Tournament to New Venue in 2010 |publisher=USA Sevens, LLC |date=2009-07-13 |accessdate=2009-07-14}}</ref> * The Adelaide event moved from its previous slot of one week after Hong Kong to one week before.<ref name="2009-10 schedule"/> ==Core teams== Before each season, the IRB announces the 12 "core teams" that will receive guaranteed berths in each event in that season's series.

Due to its place as the sport's most prestigious annual event, the Hong Kong tournament has 24 teams. In each 16-team tournament, the teams are divided into pools of four teams, who play a round-robin within the pool. Points are awarded in each pool on a different schedule from most rugby tournaments—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss. The first tiebreaker is the head-to-head result between the tied teams, followed by difference in points scored during the tournament.<ref name="16rules">{{cite web| url=http://www.irb.com/irbsevens/rules/rules16.html |title=Rules: 16-Team Tournament |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=2009-07-14 |year=2009}}</ref> Four trophies are awarded in each tournament. In descending order of prestige, they are the Cup, whose winner is the overall tournament champion, Plate, Bowl and Shield. The Shield was contested in Hong Kong for the first time in 2010.

The Bowl is contested by the third- and fourth-place finishers in each pool, with the losers in the Bowl quarterfinals dropping into the bracket for the Shield.<ref name="16rules"/> The Hong Kong Sevens adopted a new structure effective with its 2010 edition. As in previous years, the 24 teams were divided into six pools of four teams each, with the competition points system and tiebreakers identical to those for a 16-team event.

'''2010–11 [[IRB Sevens World Series]]''' was the 12th annual series of rugby union sevens tournaments for full national sides run by the [[International Rugby Board]] since 1999–2000. Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format. However, the most famous event, the [[Hong Kong Sevens]], was played over three days, largely because it involved 24 teams instead of the normal 16. ==Itinerary== The IRB announced dates for the 2010–11 events on 1 June 2010, only two days after the final event of the 2009–10 series, the [[2010 Edinburgh Sevens|Edinburgh Sevens]].<ref name="2010-11 schedule"/> The stops remained unchanged from recent years; the only scheduling change for 2010–11 was that the Adelaide event, which moved from its traditional slot of one week after Hong Kong to one week before in 2010,<ref name="2009-10 schedule">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irb.com/irbsevens/news/newsid=2032654.html#200910+irb+sevens+world+series+schedule |title=2009/10 IRB Sevens World Series schedule set |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=8 July 2009 |accessdate=14 July 2009}}</ref> returned to its prior slot for 2011.<ref name="2010-11 schedule"/> This was the last season for the South Africa leg in George and the Australia leg in Adelaide. On 13 April 2011, both countries' national unions announced that their respective legs of the series would move to new sites for 2011–12. The South Africa Sevens will move to [[Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium]] in [[Port Elizabeth]].<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/sevens&id=413608 |title=Port Elizabeth named as new host of SA Sevens event |publisher=South African Rugby Union |date=13 April 2011 |accessdate=29 May 2011}}</ref> The Australia leg will move to [[Robina Stadium|Skilled Park]] in the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]]; it was initially known as the "International Rugby Sevens Gold Coast",<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.rugby.com.au/news/sevens/gold_coast_to_become_new_home_for_australian_seven,146138.html/news/latest/section/39652 |title=Gold Coast to Become New Home for Australian Sevens |publisher=Australian Rugby Union |date=13 April 2011 |accessdate=29 May 2011}}</ref> but later rebranded simply as the "Gold Coast Sevens".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rugby.com.au/sevens/GoldCoastSevens.aspx |title=Gold Coast Sevens |work=Australian Rugby Union |accessdate=19 September 2011}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=4 style="border-right:0px;"; | 2010–11 Itinerary<ref name="2010-11 schedule">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irb.com/irbsevens/news/newsid=2037992.html |title=Dates set for 2010/11 IRB Sevens World Series |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=1 June 2010 |accessdate=8 October 2010}}</ref> |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=8%|Leg ! width=10%|Venue ! width=8%|Date ! width=5%|Winner |- || [[2010 Dubai Sevens|Dubai]] || [[The Sevens (stadium)|The Sevens]] || 3–4 December 2010 || {{ru7|ENG}} |- || [[2010 South Africa Sevens|South Africa]] || [[Outeniqua Park]], [[George, Western Cape|George]] || 10–11 December 2010 || {{ru7|NZL}} |- || [[2011 Wellington Sevens|New Zealand]] || [[Westpac Stadium]], [[Wellington]] || 4–5 February 2011 || {{ru7|NZL}} |- || [[2011 USA Sevens|United States]] || [[Sam Boyd Stadium]], [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]] || 12–13 February 2011 || {{ru7|RSA}} |- || [[2011 Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]] || [[Hong Kong Stadium]] || 25–27 March 2011 ||{{ru7|NZL}} |- || [[2011 Adelaide Sevens|Australia]] || [[Adelaide Oval]], [[Adelaide]] || 2–3 April 2011 ||{{ru7|NZL}} |- || [[2011 London Sevens|London]] || [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]] || 21–22 May 2011 || {{ru7|RSA}} |- || [[2011 Edinburgh Sevens|Edinburgh]] || [[Murrayfield Stadium|Murrayfield]], [[Edinburgh]] || 28–29 May 2011 || {{ru7|RSA}} |} ==Core teams== Before each season, the IRB announces the 12 "core teams" that received guaranteed berths in each event in that season's series.

The points allocations for all events were identical to those in the 2009–10 series, reflecting changes that the IRB made starting with that season:<ref name="2010-11 Points">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/rules/index.html|title=Points system|publisher=International Rugby Board |date=2010-12-04 |accessdate=2010-12-04}}</ref> ;16-team events (all except for Hong Kong) *Cup winner (1st place): 24 points *Cup runner-up: 20 points *Losing Cup semifinalists: 16 points *Plate winner (5th place): 12 points *Plate runner-up: 8 points *Losing Plate semifinalists: 6 points *Bowl winner (9th place): 4 points ;24-team event (Hong Kong) *Cup winner: 30 points *Cup runner-up: 25 points *Losing Cup semifinalists: 20 points *Plate winner (5th place): 16 points *Plate runner-up: 10 points *Losing Plate semifinalists: 8 points *Bowl winner (9th place): 5 points ==Tournament structure== In all tournaments except Hong Kong, 16 teams participated. Due to its place as the sport's most prestigious annual event, the Hong Kong tournament had 24 teams. In each 16-team tournament, the teams were divided into pools of four teams, who played a round-robin within the pool. Points were awarded in each pool on a different schedule from most rugby tournaments—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss. The first tiebreaker was the head-to-head result between the tied teams, followed by difference in points scored during the tournament.<ref name="16rules">{{cite web| url=http://www.irbsevens.com/rules/rules16.html |title=Rules: 16-Team Tournament |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=2009-07-14 |year=2009}}</ref> Four trophies were awarded in each tournament. In descending order of prestige, they were the Cup, whose winner was the overall tournament champion, Plate, Bowl and Shield. The Shield was contested in Hong Kong for the first time in 2010. Each trophy was awarded at the end of a knockout tournament.<ref name="Rules">{{cite web| url=http://www.irbsevens.com/rules/index.html|title=Rules |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=2010-12-04}}</ref> In a 16-team tournament, the top two teams in each pool advanced to the Cup competition. The four quarterfinal losers dropped into the bracket for the Plate. The Bowl was contested by the third- and fourth-place finishers in each pool, with the losers in the Bowl quarterfinals dropping into the bracket for the Shield.<ref name="16rules"/> The Hong Kong Sevens adopted a new structure effective with its 2010 edition. As in previous years, the 24 teams were divided into six pools of four teams each, with the competition points system and tiebreakers identical to those for a 16-team event. Also as in the past, the six pool winners and the two top second-place finishers advanced to the Cup competition.<ref name="24rules">{{cite web| url=http://www.irbsevens.com/rules/rules24.html |title=Rules: 24-Team Tournament |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=2010-01-28 |year=2009–10}}</ref> * The Plate competition was contested by the losing quarterfinalists from the Cup, as in all other events in the series. * The Bowl was contested by the four remaining second-place finishers and the top four third-place finishers. * The Shield was contested by the remaining eight entrants. ==Statistics== ===Table=== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=12 style="border-right:0px;"; | 2010–11 Standings<ref name="1011Standings">{{cite web|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/standings.html|title=Overall Standings |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=2010-12-04}}</ref> |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=5%|Pos. !

as the HSBC Sevens World Series will be the 13th annual series of the [[Rugby Sevens]] tournaments run by full national sides from the IRB since 1999-2000. ==Itinerary== The IRB announced the schedule for the 2011–12 series on 18 August 2011. The most important development was the addition of a leg in [[Japan]], expanding the circuit to nine legs. Two other significant scheduling changes were made. The Australian leg, which had previously followed the Hong Kong Sevens, was now the first event in the series. Also, the last two legs of the series, originally slated for Edinburgh and London, switched places on the schedule, making the London leg the last in the series.<ref name="2011-12 announcement">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/news/newsid=2044732.html#japan+joins+expanded+hsbc+sevens+world+series |title=Japan joins expanded HSBC Sevens World Series |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=18 August 2011 |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref> On 13 April 2011, the [[Australian Rugby Union|Australian]] and [[South African Rugby Union|South African]] unions (respectively ARU and SARU) both announced that their countries' legs of the series would move to new sites effective with this season. The ARU announced that its leg would move from [[Adelaide Sevens|Adelaide]] to the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]]. Initially, the event was called the "International Rugby Sevens Gold Coast", but was later rebranded as simply the "Gold Coast Sevens".<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.rugby.com.au/news/sevens/gold_coast_to_become_new_home_for_australian_seven,146138.html/news/latest/section/39652 |title=Gold Coast to Become New Home for Australian Sevens |publisher=Australian Rugby Union |date=13 April 2011 |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rugby.com.au/sevens/GoldCoastSevens.aspx |title=Gold Coast Sevens |work=Australian Rugby Union |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref> The SARU announced that [[Port Elizabeth]] would become the new host of the South Africa leg, replacing [[George, Western Cape|George]].<ref name="SA Sevens">{{cite press release|url=http://www.sarugby.co.za/article.aspx?category=sarugby/sevens&id=413608 |title=Port Elizabeth named as new host of SA Sevens event |publisher=South African Rugby Union |date=13 April 2011 |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref> On 9 December 2011, the IRB and the [[Scottish Rugby Union]] announced that the Scotland Sevens, also previously known as the [[Edinburgh Sevens]], would move to [[Glasgow]] effective with the 2012 edition.<ref name="Scotland Sevens">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/destination/edition=10/news/newsid=2060849.html#world+series+moves+glasgow |title=World Series moves to Glasgow |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=9 December 2011 |accessdate=9 December 2011}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=4 style="border-right:0px;"; | 2011–12 Itinerary<ref name="2011-12 announcement"/> |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=8%|Leg ! width=10%|Venue ! width=8%|Date ! width=5%|Winner |- || [[2011 Gold Coast Sevens|Australia]] || [[Robina Stadium|Skilled Park]], [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]] || 25–26 November 2011 || {{Ru7|FIJ}} |- || [[2011 Dubai Sevens|Dubai]] || [[The Sevens (stadium)|The Sevens]], [[Dubai]] || 2–3 December 2011 || {{Ru7|ENG}} |- || [[2011 South Africa Sevens|South Africa]] || [[Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium]], [[Port Elizabeth]] || 9–10 December 2011 || {{Ru7|NZL}} |- || [[2012 Wellington Sevens|New Zealand]] || [[Westpac Stadium]], [[Wellington]] || 3–4 February 2012 || {{Ru7|NZL}} |- || [[2012 USA Sevens|United States]] || [[Sam Boyd Stadium]], [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]] || 10–12 February 2012 || {{Ru7|SAM}} |- || [[2012 Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]] || [[Hong Kong Stadium]], [[Hong Kong]] || 23–25 March 2012 || {{Ru7|FIJ}} |- || [[2012 Japan Sevens|Japan]] || [[Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium]], [[Tokyo]] || 31 March–1 April 2012 || {{Ru7|AUS}} |- || [[2012 Scotland Sevens|Scotland]] || [[Scotstoun Stadium]], [[Glasgow]] || 5–6 May 2012 || {{Ru7|NZL}} |- || [[2012 London Sevens|England]] || [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]], [[London]] || 12–13 May 2012 || {{Ru7|FIJ}} |} ==Women's sevens== The 2011 Dubai Sevens saw the IRB organise its first officially sanctioned women's international sevens tournament apart from the [[Rugby World Cup Sevens]]. It involved eight teams—Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, South Africa, Spain, and the USA—and the semifinals and final were held on the main pitch at The Sevens. This was part of a plan to launch a full IRB International Women's Sevens Series for 2012–13.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/destination/edition=1/news/newsid=2051135.html#first+irb+womens+sevens+event+announced |title=First IRB Women's Sevens event announced |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=14 September 2011 |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref> ==Core teams== Before each season, the IRB announces the 12 "core teams" that received guaranteed berths in each event of that season's series.

Due to its place as the sport's most prestigious annual event, the Hong Kong tournament had 24 teams. In each 16-team tournament, the teams were divided into pools of four teams, who played a round-robin within the pool. Points were awarded in each pool on a different schedule from most rugby tournaments—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss. In case of a tie on competition points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:<ref name="16rules">{{cite web| url=http://www.irbsevens.com/rules/rules16.html |title=Rules: 16-Team Tournament |work=HSBC Sevens World Series |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=17 September 2011 |year=2011–12}}</ref> # Head-to-head result # Difference in points scored in all pool matches # Difference in tries scored in all pool matches # Total points scored in all pool matches # Total tries scored in all pool matches # Coin toss A tie between more than two teams is resolved in the same manner, but without considering head-to-head results.<ref name="16rules"/> Four trophies were awarded in each tournament. In descending order of prestige, they were the Cup (overall tournament champion), Plate, Bowl and Shield. Each trophy was awarded at the end of a knockout tournament.<ref name="2011-12 rules">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/rules/index.html |work=HSBC Sevens World Series |title=Rules |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=17 September 2011 |year=2011–12}}</ref> In a 16-team tournament, the top two teams in each pool advanced to the Cup competition. The four quarterfinal losers dropped into the bracket for the Plate. The Bowl was contested by the third- and fourth-place finishers in each pool, with the losers in the Bowl quarterfinals dropping into the bracket for the Shield.<ref name="16rules"/> The Hong Kong Sevens used a similar structure, though adjusted for the larger number of teams involved. Its 24 teams were divided into six pools of four teams each, with the competition points system and tiebreakers identical to those for a 16-team event. The six pool winners and the two top second-place finishers advanced to the Cup competition.<ref name="24rules">{{cite web| url=http://www.irbsevens.com/rules/rules24.html |title=Rules: 24-Team Tournament |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=17 September 2011 |year=2011–12}}</ref> * The Plate competition was contested by the losing quarterfinalists from the Cup, as in all other events in the series. * The Bowl was contested by the four remaining second-place finishers and the top four third-place finishers. * The Shield was contested by the remaining eight entrants. ==Statistics== ===Table=== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=12 style="border-right:0px;"; | 2011–12 Standings<ref name="2011Standings">{{cite web|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/standings.html |title= HSBC Sevens World Series Standings |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=17 September 2011}}</ref> |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=5%|Pos. !

The top 12 core teams in the season table after the next-to-last round of the series in Glasgow retained their status for 2013–14. The remaining three core teams for 2013–14 are being determined in a two-stage qualifying process:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://irbsevens.com/seriesinfo/qualifying.html |title=HSBC World Sevens Series: Series Qualifying |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=14 October 2012}}</ref> * The first stage was a World Series Pre-Qualifier held as part of the [[2013 Hong Kong Sevens]]. Two qualifiers from each of the IRB's six regions competed. The 12 teams were drawn into three pools, with the top two teams from each pool, plus the top two runners-up, advancing to a quarterfinal round. The winners of the four quarterfinal matches ([[Russia national rugby union team (sevens)|Russia]], [[Zimbabwe national rugby union team (sevens)|Zimbabwe]], [[Tonga national rugby union team (sevens)|Tonga]], and [[Georgia national rugby union team (sevens)|Georgia]]) advanced to the second stage. * The final stage, the World Series Core Team Qualifier, was held as part of the [[2013 London Sevens]]. The pre-qualifiers were joined by [[Hong Kong national rugby union team (sevens)|Hong Kong]], which earned its spot by winning the HSBC Asian Sevens Series,<ref name="2012 Asian Sevens">{{cite press release|url=http://irbsevens.com/destination/edition=5/news/newsid=2063912.html#hk+mumbai+sevens+claim+asia+series |title=HK win Mumbai Sevens to claim Asia Series |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=15 October 2012 |accessdate=21 October 2012}}</ref> plus the bottom three core teams following the Scotland Sevens.

All 15 core teams from the 2012–13 season retained their core team status. The 2013–14 core teams are: {{MultiCol}} *{{ru7|ARG}} *{{ru7|AUS}} *{{ru7|CAN}} *{{ru7|ENG}} *{{ru7|FIJ}} *{{ru7|FRA}} *{{ru7|KEN}} {{ColBreak}} *{{ru7|NZL}} *{{ru7|POR}} *{{ru7|SAM}} *{{ru7|SCO}} *{{ru7|RSA}} *{{ru7|ESP}} *{{ru7|USA}} *{{ru7|WAL}} {{endMultiCol}} ===Changes to core team qualifying=== On 9 October 2013, the IRB announced significant changes to the promotion/relegation process. First, only one promotion place will be available for the 2014–15 series. Also, the World Series Pre-Qualifier, which was a 12-team tournament contested as part of the 2013 Hong Kong Sevens, is being folded into the Core Team Qualifier, which now involves 12 teams and will be entirely contested at the Hong Kong Sevens. The bottom-placed core team at the end of the season will now be automatically relegated, with no opportunity to retain core status.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/mediacentre/news/newsid=2068901.html#one+down+hsbc+sevens+world+series |title=One up one down for HSBC World Sevens Series |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=9 October 2013 |accessdate=11 October 2013}}</ref> ===Table=== {| class="wikitable" |- !Legend |- bgcolor=ccffcc |Will be in the 2014–15 IRB Sevens World Series |-bgcolor=ffcccc |Relegated from IRB Sevens World Series |- bgcolor=ffffcc |Not a core team |} {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=12 style="border-right:0px;"; | 2013–14 Standings<ref name="2014Standings">{{cite web|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/standings.html |title= HSBC Sevens World Series Standings |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=13 October 2013}}</ref> |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! width=4%|Pos. ! width=13% | Country ! width=8%|[[2013 Gold Coast Sevens|Australia]] ! width=8%|[[2013 Dubai Sevens|Dubai]] ! width=8%|[[2013 South Africa Sevens|South Africa]] ! width=8%|[[2014 USA Sevens|USA]] ! width=8%|[[2014 Wellington Sevens|New Zealand]] ! width=8%|[[2014 Japan Sevens|Japan]] ! width=8%|[[2014 Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]] ! width=8%|[[2014 Scotland Sevens|Scotland]] ! width=8%|[[2014 London Sevens|England]] ! width=8%|Overall |- || 1. || align=left|{{ru7|RSA}} || 15 || 19 || '''22''' || '''22''' || || || || || || '''78''' |- || 2. || align=left|{{ru7|NZL}} || '''22''' || 17 || 19 || 19 || || || || || || '''77''' |- || 3. || align=left|{{ru7|FIJ}} || 13 || '''22''' || 13 || 8 || || || || || || '''56''' |- || 4. || align=left|{{ru7|ENG}} || 17 || 15 || 8 || 13 || || || || || || '''53''' |- || 5. || align=left|{{ru7|SAM}} || 10 || 5 || 17 || 15 || || || || || || '''47''' |- || 6. || align=left|{{ru7|AUS}} || 19 || 8 || 7 || 12 || || || || || || '''46''' |- || 7. || align=left|{{ru7|ARG}} || 5 || 13 || 15 || 10 || || || || || || '''43''' |- || 8. || align=left|{{ru7|KEN}} || 12 || 10 || 10 || 7 || || || || || || '''39''' |- || 9. || align=left|{{ru7|FRA}} || 8 || 3 || 12 || 10 || || || || || || '''33''' |- || 10. || align=left|{{ru7|WAL}} || 10 || 12 || 5 || 5 || || || || || || '''32''' |- || 11. || align=left|{{ru7|CAN}} || 7 || 5 || 2 || 17 || || || || || || '''31''' |- || 12. || align=left|{{ru7|SCO}} || 5 || 10 || 3 || 5 || || || || || || '''23''' |- || 13. || align=left|{{ru7|POR}} || 2 || 7 || 10 || 1 || || || || || || '''20''' |- || 14. || align=left|{{ru7|USA}} || 3 || 1 || 5 || 3 || || || || || || '''12''' |- || 15. || align=left|{{ru7|ESP}} || 1 || 2 || 1 || 2 || || || || || || '''6''' |- bgcolor=ffffcc | rowspan = 4| 16. || align=left|{{ru7|RUS}} || - || 1 || - || - || || || || || || '''1''' |- bgcolor=ffffcc | align=left|{{ru7|TON}} || 1 || - || - || - || || || || || || '''1''' |- bgcolor=ffffcc | align=left|{{ru7|URU}} || - || - || - || 1 || || || || || || '''1''' |- bgcolor=ffffcc | align=left|{{ru7|ZIM}} || - || - || 1 || - || || || || || || '''1''' |} ==Player statistics== ===Points scored=== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=4 style="border-right:0px;"; | Points scored<ref name="IndividualPoints">{{cite web|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/statistics/pointdetails.html |title=IRB Sevens World Series 2013/14 Statistics: Season Player Points |publisher=International Rugby Board |accessdate=2013-10-13}}</ref><br/> |- bgcolor="#efefef" !

Sevens World Series title sponsor |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=5 October 2010 |accessdate=5 October 2010}}</ref> is an annual series of international [[rugby sevens]] tournaments run by [[World Rugby]] featuring national sevens teams. The series, organised for the first time as the '''World Sevens Series''' in the 1999-2000 season, was formed to develop an elite-level competition series between rugby nations and develop the sevens game into a viable commercial product for World Rugby. Teams compete for the World Rugby Sevens Series title by accumulating points based on their finishing position in each tournament. New Zealand had originally dominated the Series, winning each of the first six titles from 1999-2000 to 2004-05, but since then, Fiji, [[South Africa at the World Rugby Sevens Series|South Africa]] and Samoa have each won titles. As of the upcoming 2015–16 season, the season's circuit consists of 10 tournaments in 10 countries, and visits five of the six populated continents. [[Australia]], the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[South Africa]], [[New Zealand]], [[Canada]], the [[United States]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Singapore]], [[France]] and [[England]] each host one event. [[Argentina]] was originally planned to begin hosting a tenth event in the 2012–13 season, giving the tour an event on each continent, but those plans have been shelved indefinitely.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/news/newsid=2063382.html|work=irbsevens.com|title=Argentina Sevens World Series round postponed|date=16 August 2012|publisher=International Rugby Board}}</ref> The 2015–16 season will see the return of two previous host countries, Singapore and France, which respectively replace [[Japan]] and [[Scotland]], as well as a completely new tour stop in Canada. ==History== ===Beginnings=== The first international [[Rugby sevens]] tournament was held at Scotland which was celebrating a century of the [[Scottish Rugby Union]].<ref>{{cite web|title= Scotland.org - September 2007 ''Try and Try again''|url=http://www.scotland.org/about/entertainment-and-sport/features/culture/scottish-rugby.html|work=|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5iRrALXZj|archivedate=2009-07-21|deadurl=no|accessdate=2009-06-23}}</ref> Seven international teams took part in the first tournament, which had [[England national rugby union team (sevens)|England]] taking the trophy.

[[New Zealand national rugby union team (sevens)|New Zealand]] has been by far the dominant force in the World Rugby Sevens Series, winning 11 out of the 14 seasons, and winning the first six seasons. However, since 2005, several other teams have successfully challenged New Zealand's dominance. [[Fiji national rugby union team (sevens)|Fiji]], long a power in sevens, were winners in 2005-06; [[South Africa national rugby union team (sevens)|South Africa]] won in 2008–09; and [[Samoa national rugby union team (sevens)|Samoa]] claimed the 2009–10 crown.

In the 2012–13 season, the top 12 core teams in the season table after the next-to-last round of the series in Glasgow retained their status for the following season.

Two qualifiers from each of the IRB's six regions competed. The 12 teams were drawn into pools, with the top eight teams advancing to a quarterfinal round. The winners of the four quarterfinal matches advanced to the final qualifying stage. * The final qualifying stage, the World Series Core Team Qualifier, was held as part of the London Sevens. The qualifying teams were joined by the winner of the HSBC Asian Sevens Series, plus the bottom three core teams following the Scotland Sevens. The qualifying tournament was conducted with a pool stage followed by knockout play, with the two finalists and the winner of the third-place match becoming core teams for the following season. The IRB announced significant changes to the core team promotion/relegation process, effective with the [[2013–14 IRB Sevens World Series|2013–14 series]], on 9 October 2013:<ref name="2013-14 promotion">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/mediacentre/news/newsid=2068901.html#one+down+hsbc+sevens+world+series |title=One up one down for HSBC World Sevens Series |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=9 October 2013 |accessdate=11 October 2013}}</ref> * The number of promotion/relegation places will be reduced from three to one. * The Pre-Qualifier will be folded into the Core Team Qualifier, which will involve 12 teams determined in regional qualifying and will be contested entirely at the Hong Kong Sevens. The champion of the Qualifier will receive core team status for the following season's series. * Relegation will be determined at the end of the London Sevens. The bottom-placed core team will be automatically relegated, with no opportunity to retain core status. == Format == [[rugby sevens|Sevens]] is a stripped-down version of [[rugby union]] from [[Scotland]] with seven players each side on a normal-sized field. Games are much shorter, lasting only seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced, open affairs. The game is quicker and higher-scoring than 15-a-side rugby and the rules are far simpler, which explains part of its appeal. It also gives players the space for superb feats of individual skill. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format, with the Hong Kong Sevens (an anomaly as a three-day event) being the most famous. Currently, in a normal event, 16 teams are entered.

The series, organised for the first time as the '''World Sevens Series''' in the 1999-2000 season, was formed to develop an elite-level competition series between rugby nations and develop the sevens game into a viable commercial product for World Rugby. Teams compete for the World Rugby Sevens Series title by accumulating points based on their finishing position in each tournament. New Zealand had originally dominated the Series, winning each of the first six titles from 1999-2000 to 2004-05, but since then, Fiji, [[South Africa at the World Rugby Sevens Series|South Africa]] and Samoa have each won titles. As of the upcoming 2015–16 season, the season's circuit consists of 10 tournaments in 10 countries, and visits five of the six populated continents. [[Australia]], the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[South Africa]], [[New Zealand]], [[Canada]], the [[United States]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Singapore]], [[France]] and [[England]] each host one event.

However, two of the events were expanded because they became part of the IRB's new promotion and relegation system for core teams. In the 2012–13 season, the top 12 core teams in the season table after the next-to-last round of the series in Glasgow retained their status for the following season.

Two qualifiers from each of the IRB's six regions competed. The 12 teams were drawn into pools, with the top eight teams advancing to a quarterfinal round. The winners of the four quarterfinal matches advanced to the final qualifying stage. * The final qualifying stage, the World Series Core Team Qualifier, was held as part of the London Sevens. The qualifying teams were joined by the winner of the HSBC Asian Sevens Series, plus the bottom three core teams following the Scotland Sevens. The qualifying tournament was conducted with a pool stage followed by knockout play, with the two finalists and the winner of the third-place match becoming core teams for the following season. The IRB announced significant changes to the core team promotion/relegation process, effective with the [[2013–14 IRB Sevens World Series|2013–14 series]], on 9 October 2013:<ref name="2013-14 promotion">{{cite press release|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/mediacentre/news/newsid=2068901.html#one+down+hsbc+sevens+world+series |title=One up one down for HSBC World Sevens Series |publisher=International Rugby Board |date=9 October 2013 |accessdate=11 October 2013}}</ref> * The number of promotion/relegation places will be reduced from three to one. * The Pre-Qualifier will be folded into the Core Team Qualifier, which will involve 12 teams determined in regional qualifying and will be contested entirely at the Hong Kong Sevens. The champion of the Qualifier will receive core team status for the following season's series. * Relegation will be determined at the end of the London Sevens. The bottom-placed core team will be automatically relegated, with no opportunity to retain core status. == Format == [[rugby sevens|Sevens]] is a stripped-down version of [[rugby union]] from [[Scotland]] with seven players each side on a normal-sized field. Games are much shorter, lasting only seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced, open affairs. The game is quicker and higher-scoring than 15-a-side rugby and the rules are far simpler, which explains part of its appeal. It also gives players the space for superb feats of individual skill. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format, with the Hong Kong Sevens (an anomaly as a three-day event) being the most famous. Currently, in a normal event, 16 teams are entered. The Hong Kong Sevens had 24 teams through the 2011–12 series, but has featured 28 teams since 2012–13, with 15 core teams and the winner of the HSBC Asian Sevens Series competing for series points.

Points are awarded in each pool on a different schedule from most rugby tournaments—3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss, 0 for a no-show.

In the transitional year of 2012, the Hong Kong Sevens was split into two separate competitions. The 12 core teams competed for the Cup, Plate and Bowl under a format similar to that of a regular event. The 12 invited teams all competed for the Shield, with the top three sides in that competition also earning core status for 2012–13. From 2013 on, the four trophies in Hong Kong will be contested under the same format used in regular 16-team tournaments. Only the 15 core teams, plus the winner of the HSBC Asian Sevens Series, now compete in the main draw of that event.

Initially, World Rugby announced the new points schedule only for the standard 16-team events; the allocations for the Hong Kong Sevens were announced later.<ref name="2011-12 points"/> Starting with the 2012–13 series, all events have 16 teams competing for series points, except for the 2013 edition of the London Sevens (in which only 12 teams competed for series points). *Cup winner (1st place): 22 points *Cup runner-up (2nd place): 19 points *Cup third-place play-off winner (3rd place): 17 points *Cup third-place play-off loser (4th place): 15 points *Plate winner (5th place): 13 points *Plate runner-up (6th place): 12 points *Losing Plate semi-finalists (joint 7th place): 10 points *Bowl winner (9th place): 8 points *Bowl runner-up (10th place): 7 points *Losing Bowl semi-finalists (joint 11th place): 5 points *Shield winner (13th place): 3 points *Shield runner-up (14th place): 2 points *Losing Shield semi-finalists (joint 15th place): 1 point If two or more teams are level on series points at the end of the season, the following tiebreakers are used to determine placement:<ref name="IRB Sevens 2006-07" /> #Overall difference in points scored and allowed during the season. #Total try count during the season. #If neither of the above produces a winner, the teams are considered tied. ==See also== *[[World Rugby Women's Sevens Series]] == References == {{Reflist}} ==External links== * [http://www.worldrugby.org/sevens-series Official site] {{World sevens series}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Irb Sevens World Series}} [[Category:IRB Sevens World Series| ]] ebb2011c51c9b552e896b9324fd327d15bd3bde3 14 210 389 388 2016-03-08T03:43:21Z Matt121 3353792 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki This area of the site is for articles regarding the subject of the wiki.
